Revitalizing education through the integration of cloud technologies

This research investigates the role and conditions for the utilization of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in the modern educational system. The study aims to identify the evolutionary stages in the development of MOOCs, highlight the tools employed in their organization, determine the roles of the learning participants within MOOCs, and analyze the outcomes of implementing MOOCs. The research focuses on the development and proliferation of MOOCs in both global and domestic educational practices. The subject of investigation encompasses the conditions for using MOOCs in worldwide and national educational contexts. The research methodology includes analyzing regulatory acts, government programs, scientific publications, articles, monographs, and materials from scientific conferences and seminars.The findings explore the history of MOOC creation and dissemination, tracing the evolutionary transition from open content to open learning processes. The concept of a "personal learning environment" is examined, highlighting the social services involved in its formation. Practical achievements, experimental evidence, and statistical data on organizing the learning process within open distance courses are analyzed.The main conclusions and recommendations emphasize that MOOCs represent a new and underexplored method of education, incorporating novel approaches and social services that are constantly evolving. Successful implementation requires addressing key issues such as selecting and evaluating open content, assisting students in organizing activities with open content, and more. Additionally, broader questions arise, including the suitability of certain subjects for open distance courses, the integration of MOOCs into traditional teaching approaches, and the necessary pedagogical skills for conducting open distance courses.

Principles of a unified open personalized computer-integrated learning environment for the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine

Demianenko¹

2023

This study aims to determine the conceptual foundations of a unified personalized open computer-integrated learning environment for the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (JASU). The research tasks include identifying priority directions for developing students' research competence, analyzing the innovative activities of JASU in implementing cloud-based ICT (Information and Communication Technology), and defining the objectives and structure of the "Learning Interaction Support Server" software complex as the basis for a unified personalized open computer-integrated learning environment for JASU. The research object focuses on the process of developing students' research competence within JASU, while the subject encompasses the concept of a unified personalized open computer-integrated learning environment for JASU based on network ICT services.Research methods employed in this study involve analyzing regulatory documents, scientific publications, articles, monographs, conference proceedings, and seminars. Additionally, an analysis of the extracurricular education system and the structure and activities of JASU was conducted.The research findings entail identifying priority directions for fostering innovative thinking and culture, designing an acmeological educational space considering the innovative development of education, personal demands, societal and state needs. Furthermore, the innovative activities of JASU were examined, and models for developing students' research competence within JASU were proposed. The implementation of cloud technologies, as the most promising innovative direction for the development of network ICT services, was discussed. Moreover, the tasks and structure of the "Learning Interaction Support Server" software complex—an adaptive distributed information and knowledge management system and personalized networked virtual electronic platforms for educational actors—were determined.The main conclusions and recommendations highlight that the creation of a unified personalized open computer-integrated learning environment for JASU will ensure the presence of all educational process participants, regardless of time and location. It will also promote the development and effective utilization of managed educational information resources, including personalized databases for students and educators. Ultimately, the motivation and productivity of scientific research will be significantly enhanced.

A methodological framework for using cloud-based mobile mathematical environments in higher education

Словак¹

2023

This research aims to develop a methodology for utilizing cloud-based technologies in the teaching of higher mathematics. The study tasks involve identifying the features of mobile mathematical environments as tools for cloud-based technologies, developing a mobile mathematical environment specifically designed to support mathematics learning for students in economic disciplines, and formulating a methodology for employing the mobile mathematical environment. The research focuses on the process of teaching higher mathematics to students in economic disciplines. The subject of investigation encompasses the use of cloud-based learning technologies in the teaching of higher mathematics. The research methods employed include studying, summarizing, and systematizing scientific, methodological, and psycho-pedagogical literature; analyzing current educational standards and curricula; conducting targeted pedagogical observations, testing, and surveys; and analyzing the experience of using cloud-based learning technologies in the teaching of higher mathematics. The findings analyze the main features of mobile mathematical environments as tools for cloud-based technologies. The ``Higher Mathematics'' mobile mathematical environment, designed to support the learning of higher mathematics for students in economic disciplines, is examined. Elements of the methodology for utilizing the ``Higher Mathematics'' mobile mathematical environment in the teaching of higher mathematics are identified.
